You've got to be shitting me.
Hmm, as somebody who wasn't here last night, please add a bit of back story before I assume people posted hundreds of pictures of keys in your comments.
I LUVS MATHS TOO!
Your problem is here: "Implying total wii owners, close to 10 million".
YOU are assuming he's talking about overall wii consoles.
Lets look at it on a different way:
Wii owners (who else would get wii games?)purchased 8.1 games for every system sold in the month of December according to NPD data.
Or:
People(who own the wii) purchased 8.1 games for every system sold in the month of December according to NPD data.
Anyway, in before the ring of fire!!
Find something else to do.
Is this a comment or an actual blog? Get this incoherent shit out of here, please.
Who are you responding to? God, you failed so hardcore. Heretic! Where are you so you can link to the forums?
try dividing by zero
lol wut
BlackbeardonGuitar is WORLD FAMOUS you say?
My word, no one can solve a simple conundrum, and have to resort to posting images of stupidity memes.
Okay, sales report state that 8 (I'm rounding) games were sold as a ratio to the amount of wiis there are. Each wii owner has 8 wii games.
However, another source states only 10 million wii games were sold during that month (A more likely value), meaning 80 out of 100 wii owners bought ONE game. (And until Brawl comes out, the wii might not have a PERFECT library of games yet. Besides, Wii Sports can entertain you for so long)
The matter is you got two COMPLETELY conflict ideas. Is it a ratio of 1 to 8 or 10 to 8?
I think the point that he is trying to make here is that SOMEONE doesn't have sources right.
Your move.
Does anyone even care that much? I don't give a shit which console is "winning".
That's NPD data. There aren't 10 million North American Wii owners. That's worldwide. So you're wrong on that point, and therefore, wrong on your entire point. So suck it.
'Approximately 10 Million consoles, and decembers total was what maybe 1 million tops. So your left with 8 Million total wii games sold in the month of December or .8 per Wii console.
Explain how this is wrong?'
I got it- it should be 'So you're left with 8 Million'
What do I win?
What. The. Fuck.
Where are your sources? Why are you a douchebag?
Oh my god. What makes me most angry about this is the assumption that 1) you assume that people are going to run around touting these numbers facts like it was scripture and 2) that we really even care about it.
Dude just fucking let it go. Even if your logic is flawless you just come off as some sort of noob/troll. What do you want? Us to build a statue in your honor for creating some half assed mathematical logic?
ALL HAIL BLACKBEARDONGUITAR! THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT, THE HERO OF DESTRUCTOID!
You going to sleep better tonight now?
Listen, retard... the numbers were based on the game sales in December compared to every system sold FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. THAT'S ONLY COUNTING THE WII SALES FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. ONLY FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. LIKE IT SAID IN THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE THAT YOU QUOTED. Later in the article it says the lifetime attach rate is only 4.6 for the Wii.
Here's the Gamepro article Dale referenced. Here's the IGN article the Gamepro article referenced. THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING.
Seriously, learn to fucking read before you go off on another spazz attack like this.
Are we really still on this? Reread his post, if you read it the correct way the math is pretty close to right.
You fail, that is what is wrong.
"You are served continually by Mathematics and words. For this I feel pity upon you."
You are served continually by this waiter. For this I feel pity upon you.
"Approximately 10 Million consoles, and decembers total was what maybe 1 million tops. So your left with 8 Million total wii games sold in the month of December or .8 per Wii console."
Ok ... Maybe I'm missing something, but I'll give this a shot. I actually don't give a shit about NPD numbers, so I don't read articles about them, so I'm going to take your word for what these figures are.
So, Dec. Wii sales: "decembers total was what maybe 1 million tops"
Dec. Wii game sales: "So your left with 8 Million total wii games sold in the month of December"
1 million consoles / 8 million games = 8 games/console. Isn't that right? An attachment rate of 8.1?
I fail to see what the issue is. >.>
Shit, that should read:
8 million games / 1 million consoles = 8 games per console.
Also, how the fuck do you buy .8 games? Do they leave the instruction book out of it? Maybe no front to the case? Part of the disk is missing?
Wait up fellas, this guys been here longer than most of us right? Maybe we should listen to him . . .
I mean having been here so long. with no friends. and ViagralikeHardcoreness. Doesn't that give the douche the honor of audience?!
Can not a completely worthless poster be given the attention of his much greater peers!?!??!?
SHOULD NOT THE HEAVENS MOVE FOR A SAD MAN WASTING HIS LIFE PINCHING COMPLETELY IRRELLEVANT NUMBERS GET THE COMPLETE ATTENTION OF THE GREATEST COMMUNITY OF GAMERS EVER TO TREAD THE EARTH WITH THEIR WAR WEARY BATTLEBOOTS!!!
GTFO!
STFUAJPG!
WOULD YOU KINDLY!!?!!!??!!?!!?!!!????!!!!!
I really don't know why you care, or why the fuck you are even here since it seems that you fucking hate destructoid.
also, stop.
kthnx.
Better this than...
Also...
See, if you'd have just posted something like what dvddesign posted, you wouldn't be a sack of shit.
Seesh, I never seen so much blind nerd rage drama before at this guy, even if he's intentional.
It's a clog for christ sake on the very serious internet, it's not painted on the Statue of Liberty.
You know what?
Done. Out of pure love and justice, done.
How dare you!
@Cutie Honey
I think this has less to do with math and more to do with misreading, like Mxy said.
@Knives
I'm aware of that. I don't know why I used the word math up there (even though my explanation was full of it) instead of the word conundrum.
The NPD number were (and will be) skewed because of bundling. Microsoft's numbers (while being padded) aren't as great because you can find unbundled systems in the wild.
